Selena Gomez struggles to announce Kneecap win at the Baftas 2025
Selena Gomez made a hefty blunder on the stage of the Baftas 2025 when it came to giving an award to the Irish drama Kneecap. The Irish-language film's director Rich Peppiatt won the award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Gomez presented the prize alongside her Emilia Pérez co-star Zoë Saldaña, but appeared to struggle when she saw the name Kneecap inside the envelope. She monetarily looked to Saldaña for support before getting herself back on track. Gomez and Saldaña took to the stage to present the award, which Peppiatt won ahead of fellow exciting debutants, including Dev Patel for Monkey Man. But when she and Saldaña opened the envelope, Gomez poured and muttered "I don't know how to say...", pushing the card towards Saldaña. The star eventually gathered herself and was able to announced that Peppiatt's quasi-biopic of the titular band — who play themselves in the movie — had won the award. One viewer on Twitter suggested that "Selena Gomez saw Gaelic and panicked".

"15 years ago, I actually met my wife and a decade later she convinced me to move to Belfast. Within two weeks of moving to Belfast, I met Kneecap, and now I'm standing here. It's weird how life works like that," he said. The filmmaker then turned his attention to the wider meaning of Kneecap, especially given events elsewhere in the world. He said: "Kneecap is more than a film. It's a movement. It's about how everyone should have their language respected. They should have their culture respected and they should have their homeland respected. And so this award is dedicated to everyone who's out there fighting that fight." David Tennant served as host for the Baftas telecast, which opened with a entertaining musical number in which he marched through the theatre encouraging a sing-along of Proclaimers hit I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). Fittingly, fellow Scottish actor Brian Cox got the segment started. It was a great night from the start for Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, which won two awards. There was British talent on show throughout, including a musical performance from Take That, whose song Greatest Day was used in the opening scene of Anora. The Bafta Film Awards aired on BBC One and is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
